BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to Fig. 1, a fastener bag 1 in a first embodiment according to the present invention includes a packaging bag 2, and a fastening device 3 welded or bonded to the inner surface of the packaging bag 2.
As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the packaging bag 2 is formed by folding side parts 4a and 4b of a rectangular packaging sheet, joining the folded side parts 4a and 4b such that the inner surfaces thereof are contiguous, heat-sealing the thus joined folded side parts 4a and 4b to form a tubular structure having a back sealed part 5, and heat-sealing the upper and the lower end of the tubular structure to form an upper sealed part 6 and a lower sealed part 7.
Although it is preferably that the packaging sheet is a laminated film, the packaging sheet may be a single film.
Laminated films suitable as the packaging sheet for forming a transparent packaging bag 2 are a laminated film formed by laminating a 20 to 50 [m thick biaxially oriented polypropylene film, and a 20 to 60 Rm thick nonoriented polypropylene film by a laminating process using a 2 to 3 Rm thick dry bonding layer, a laminated film formed by laminating a 9 to 25 tm thick polyester film, and a 25 to 120 [tm thick straight-chain, low-density polyethylene film by a laminating process using a 2 to 3 Rm thick dry bonding layer, and a laminated film formed by laminating a 9 to [Im thick biaxial oriented nylon film, and a 25 to 120 jim thick polyethylene film by a laminating process using a 2 to 3 im thick dry bonding layer. An extruded 12 to 20 [tm thick polyethylene layer may be used as a bonding layer instead of the dry bonding layer.
Laminated films suitable as the packaging sheet for forming an opaque packaging bag 2 are a laminated film formed by laminating a 9 to 25 Rm thick polyester film, a 6 to m thick aluminum foil, and a 20 to 120 pm thick straight-chain low-density polyethylene film by a laminating process using a 2 to 3 Rm thick dry bonding layer, and a laminated film formed by laminating a 9 to 25 pm thick polyester film, a 12 Rm thick aluminum-metallized polyester film, and a 20 to pm thick nonoriented polypropylene film by a laminating process using a 2 to 3 gm thick dry bonding layer. A 12 to 20 im thick extruded polyethylene layer may be used as a bonding layer instead of the dry bonding layer.
Referring to Fig. 2, the fastening device 3 includes a separate male fastening member 8 and a separate female fastening member 9. The male fastening member 8 has a base part 8a attached to a part of the inner surface of the packaging bag 2 onone sideof thebacksealedpart5. Thefemale fastening member 9 has a base part 9a attached to a part of the inner surface of the packaging bag 2 on the other side of the back sealed part The male fastening member 8 and the female fastening member 9 are formed by extruding an olefin resin, such as a polyethylene, a polypropylene or a copolymer of a polyethylene and a polypropylene by an extrusion molding machine. Although the male fastening member 8 and the female fastening member 9 shown in Fig. 2 have each a single engaging part, the same may be provided with two or more engaging parts when necessary.
As shown in Fig. 2, the packaging bag 2 is provided with narrow roughened tear parts 10 in the outer surface of the laminated film forming the packaging bag 2. The narrow roughened tear parts 10 are formed along the back sealed part 5. The roughened tear parts 10 are those provided with scratches not penetrating the laminated film formed by pressing a sand paper against the laminated film. The roughened tear parts 10 are the tear-facilitating means of the packaging bag.
When opening the fastener bag 1, one end of the back sealed part 5 is held between fingers, the back sealed part is pulled away from the surface of the fastener bag 1 to tear the laminated film along bends in the back sealed part provided with the roughened tear parts A method of manufacturing the fastener bag will be described.
A continuous laminated film is cut in a packaging sheet of a length equal to twice the sum of the width of the packaging bag 2 shown in Fig. 1 and the length of the back sealed part 5 of the packaging bag 2 to form the packaging bag 2 that can be used on an automatic filling and packaging machine.
When folding the packaging sheet to form the packaging bag 2, at least one ofthesideparts4a and 4bjoined by heat-sealing to form the back sealed part 5 is provided with the roughened tear part 10. Preferably, both the side parts are provided with the roughened tear parts, respectively.
The side parts 4a and 4b are bent and are joined such that the inner surfacesthereofarecontiguousto form atubular structure. Theroughenedtearparts sheet extend along the bends of the side parts 4a and 4b.
Then, a continuous fastening device 3 with the male fastening member 8 and the female fastening member 9 engaged is inserted in the tubular structure such that the base part 8a of the male fastening member 8 is disposed on a part of the inner surface of the tubular structure on one side of the joint of the side parts 4a and 4b, and the base part 9a of the female fastening member 9 of the fastening device is disposed on a part of the inner surface of the tubular structure on the other side of the joint of the side parts 4a and 4b.
Thus, the male fastening member 8 and the female fastening member 9 are disposed on the opposite sides of the joint of the side parts 4a and 4b, respectively.
Then, the joined side parts 4a and 4b of the tubular structure are bonded together by heat-sealing and, at the same time, the respective base parts 8a and 9a of the male fastening member 8andthe female fastening member 9 are welded or bonded to the inner surfaceofthetubular structure. Thus, the tubular structure having open opposite ends and provided with the fastening device 3 attached to its inner surface is formed.
Then, one end of the tubular structure fixedly provided with the fastening device 3 and having the opposite open ends is heat-sealed to form the lower heat-sealed part 7. Thus, the packaging bag 2 having an open upper end is obtained.
An article is filled through the open upper end in the packaging bag 2, and then the upper end of the packaging bag 2 is heat-sealed to form the upper heat-sealed part 6. The packaging bag 2 filled with the article is cut along the upper heat-sealed part 6 to separate the packaging bag 2 from the packaging sheet.
Figs. 3 and 4 show a fastener bag lain a second embodiment according to the present invention. The fastener bag la shown in Figs. 3 and 4 differs from the fastener bag 1 shown in Figs. 1 and 2 in that the fastener bag la is provided with a tear strip 11 as a tear-facilitating means combined with a fastening device 3a instead of the roughened tear parts 10 of the fastener bag 1 shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
Referring to Fig. 4, the fastening device 3a includes a separate male fastening member 8 and a separate female fastening member 9. The tear strip 11 isattachedtemporarily to the inner surface of the base part of the male fastening member 8 by welding or bonding. The tear strip 11 may be attached temporarily to the outer surface of the base part 8a of the male fastening member 8. When the tear strip 11 is attached to the outer surface of the base part 8a, the respective positions of the male fastening member 8 and the female fastening member 9 on a packaging bag 2 are interchanged.
Although it is preferable that the tear strip 11 is made of a polymer different from that forming the packaging sheet and is, for example, a nylon monofilament or a metal wire, the tear strip 11 may be a cotton yarn or a silk yarn, provided that the tear strip 11 has a strength sufficient to tear both the base part 8aof themale fasteningmember 8 and the packaging sheet.
The male fastening member 8 and the female fastening member 9 of the fastening device 3a are formed by continuously extruding an olefin resin by an extrusion molding machine.
The tear strip 11 can be combined with the male fastening member 8 or the female fastening member 9 by forming the tear strip 11 simultaneously with the male fastening member 8 or the female fastening member 9 by coextrusion.
As shown in Fig. 3, the fastening device 3a and the tear strip 11 are extended continuously between the upper and the lower end of the fastener bag la. A triangular pull tab 13 is formed by cutting lines 12 in a lower heat-sealed part 7 at a position corresponding to the tear strip 11 and an end of the tear strip 11 is connected to the pull tab 13.
When opening the fastener bag la, the lower heat-sealed part 7 is cut along the cutting lines 12 to separate the pull tab 13 from the lower heat-sealed part 7, and then the pull tab 13 is held between fingers and is pulled away from the fastener bag la. Consequently, the tear strip 11 connected to the pull tab 13 cuts both the base part 8a of the male fastening member 8 and the packaging sheet to open the fastener bag la.
Whereas the fastener bag la shown in Fig. 4 has the butt seam type packaging bag 2a, a fastener bag lb shown in Fig.
has an envelope seam type packaging bag 2b.
The envelope seam type packaging bag 2b has an envelope seam 5a formed by superposing and joining together side parts of a packaging sheet. Laminated films suitable as the packaging sheet for forming the packaging bag 2b are a laminated film formed by laminating a 20 to 60 Rm thick nonoriented polypropylene film, a 20 to 50 Rm thick biaxially oriented polypropylene film, and a 20 to 60 Rm thick nonoriented polypropylene film by a laminating process using a 2 to 3 [tm thick dry bonding layer, a laminated film formed by laminating a 30 to 50 Rm thick straight-chain low-density polyethylene film, a 9 to 25 [tm thick polyester film, and a 25 to 120 [tm thick straight-chain, low-density polyethylene film by a laminating process using a 2 to 3 Rm thick dry bonding layer, and a laminated film formed by laminating a 25 to Rm thick polyethylene film, a 9 to 20 Rm thick biaxial oriented nylon film, and a 25 to 120 Vm thick polyethylene film by a laminating process using a 2 to 3 [m thick dry bonding layer.
An extruded polyethylene layer may be used as a bonding layer instead of the dry bonding layer.
A fastening device 3c included in a fastener bag ic shown in Fig. 6 is different in construction from that included in the fastener bag lb shown in Fig. 5. The fastening device ic shown in Fig. 6 is a molding integrally having a male fastening member 8, a female fastening member 9, and a connecting part 14 interconnecting the male fastening member 8 and the female fastening member 9. A tear strip 11, i.e., a tear-facilitating means, is attached to the inner surface of the connecting part 14.
The fastening device 3c and the tear strip 11 of the fastener bag ic, similarly to the fastening device 3a and the tear strip 11 shown in Fig. 2, are extended between the upper and the lower end of a packaging bag 2, a triangular pull tab is formed by cutting lines in a lower heat-sealed part and an end of the tear strip 11 is connected to the pull tab.

The cut tape is formed from, for example, a laminated film formed by sandwiching a 12 [tm thick polyester film between 30 [m thick polyethylene films. The cut tape is formed in a width slightly smaller than the distance between the respective base parts 8a and 9a of the male fastening member 8 and the female fastening member 9 so that the cut tape is guided by the base part 8a of the male fastening member 8 or the base part 9a of the female fastening member 9 when cutting the packaging bag 2 with the cut tape.
Whereas the fastener bag le shown in Fig. 8 has the butt seam type packaging bag 2, a fastener bag If shown in Fig.
9 has an envelope seam type packaging bag 2b.
A fastener bag Ig shown in Fig. 10 is provided with a cut tape 100 as a tear-facilitating means instead of the roughened tear part 10 of the fastener bag 1 shown in Fig.
2.
The cut tape 100 of the fastener bag Ig is attached to a part of the inner surface of a packaging bag 2b between a base part 8a of a male fastening member 8 and a back sealed part 5 formed in the packaging bag 2g. The cut tape 100 serves as a tear-facilitating means for opening the packaging bag 2g. Two longitudinal cutting lines may be formed in the cut tape 100, and a part between the two cutting lines of the cut tape may be used as a tear-facilitating means.
The cut tape 100 has a width in the range of 3 to mm. Thecuttape 100 is extendedcontinuouslybetween anupper heat-sealed part 6 and a lower heat-sealed part 7 of the packaging bag ig on a part of the packaging bag 2g between the male fastening member 8 and the female fastening member 9. A triangular pull tab is formed in at least either the upper heat-sealed part 6 or the lower heat-sealed part 7 by cutting lines. The cutting line separates a part of the heat-sealed part to form the pull tab integrally with the cut tape 100 at one end of the cut tape 100.

A method of manufacturing the fastener bag 1g will be described.
A continuous laminated film is cut in a packaging sheet of a length equal to twice the sum of the width of the packaging bag 2g shown in Fig. 10 and the length of the back sealed part 5 of the packaging bag 2g to form the packaging bag 2g that can be used on an automatic filling and packaging machine.
Side parts 4a and 4b are bent and are joined such that the inner surfaces thereof are contiguous to form a tubular structure. Then, a continuous fastening device 3 with the male fastening member 8 and the female fastening member 9 engaged and the cut tape 100 are inserted in the tubular structure.
The male fastening member 8 and the female fastening member 9 are disposed on the opposite sides, respectively, of the joint of the side parts 4a and 4b. The cut tape 100 is extended continuously between the upper and the lower end of the tubular structure on a part between.the base part 8a of the male fastening member 8 and the base part 9a of the female fastening member 9 of the tubular structure.
Then, the joined side parts 4a and 4b of the tubular structure are bonded together by heat-sealing to form the back sealed part 5 and, at the same time, the respective base parts 8a and 9a of the male fastening member 8 and the female fastening member 9 are welded or bonded to the inner surface of the tubular structure. Thus, the tubular structure having open opposite ends and provided with the fastening device 3 and the cut tape 100 attached to its inner surface is formed.
The easy-to-peel layer 103 of the cut tape 100 is bonded to the base part 9a of the female fastening member 9.
Then, one end of the tubular structure fixedly provided with the fastening device 3 and the cut tape 100, and having the opposite open ends is heat-sealed to form a lower heat-sealed part 7. Thus, the packaging bag 2g having an open upper end is obtained. An article is filled through the open upper end in the packaging bag 2g, and then the upper end of the packaging bag 2g is heat-sealed to form the upper heat-sealed part 6. The packaging bag 2g filled with the article is cut along the upper heat-sealed part 6 to separate the packaging bag 2g from the packaging sheet.
When opening the fastener bag Ig to take out the contents, the upper heat-sealed part 6 or the lower heat-sealed part 7 is cut along the cutting lines to form a tab separated from the heat-sealed part.
Then, the tab is held between fingers and is pulled away from the surface of the fastener bag Ig to cut a part of the packaging bag 2g between the respective base parts 8a and 9a of the male fastening member 8 and the female fastening member 9 with the cut tape 100. Consequently, the fastener bag Ig is opened and the contents can be taken out of the fastener bag ig through an opening formed by cutting the packaging bag 2g with the cutting tape 100.
The remnant contents remaining in the fastener bag ig after taking out some of the contents can be sealed in the fastener bag Ig by engaging the male fastening member 8 and the female fastening member 9.
